From February 1 to February 6, Ni28 conducted an on-site inspection at operating nickel mining locations in Kendari, Indonesia, directly examining the physical assets that underpin OZNi, its nickel-backed real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure.

The inspection represents a deliberate and methodical step in Ni28’s verification-first strategy—moving beyond on-chain narratives to direct engagement with asset origin.

In an industry where real-world assets are often referenced remotely, Ni28 chose physical presence.

Kendari, located in Southeast Sulawesi, is one of Indonesia’s established nickel-producing regions, known for laterite nickel resources critical to battery materials, energy storage systems, and industrial applications.

The mining sites visited during this inspection are not conceptual assets or future projections.
They are active extraction environments, embedded in real supply chains and subject to real operational constraints.

By conducting on-site inspections in Kendari, Ni28 anchors OZNi’s asset narrative to a specific geography, jurisdiction, and operational reality—a critical distinction in RWA infrastructure design.

Between February 1 and February 6, the Ni28 team assessed conditions on the ground, focusing on factors that cannot be fully evaluated through documentation alone.

These included:

• Mine accessibility and site conditions

• Ore characteristics and extraction workflows

• Operational scale relative to reported data

• Logistical pathways from mine to processing

• Alignment between operational reality and disclosed information
  

For RWA systems built on physical resources, such inspections are not symbolic.
They are foundational.

They ensure that on-chain representations remain tied to assets that are observable, verifiable, and continuously monitored in the real world.

Ni28’s on-site inspection in Kendari forms part of a broader effort to close the verification loop between off-chain reality and on-chain representation.

Within Ni28’s infrastructure framework:

• Physical assets must be identifiable at source

• Production and reserve data must be verifiable

• Asset status must remain auditable over time
  
  

On-site inspections serve as a primary input into this system, supporting reserve confirmation, production tracking, and future third-party audit processes.

In this model, blockchain does not replace industrial due diligence.
It records, extends, and standardizes it.

Field inspections require coordination, time, and operational commitment—particularly across borders.

Ni28’s decision to organize a multi-day inspection from February 1 to February 6 reflects a long-term approach to infrastructure development, one that prioritizes accuracy over speed and verification over abstraction.

For OZNi, this approach signals that its underlying asset base is being treated with the same rigor expected in traditional resource and commodities sectors.

In RWA systems, trust is not created through whitepapers alone.
It is built through repeated confirmation that digital representations remain grounded in physical reality.

Ni28’s Kendari inspection represents one instance of this process—demonstrating that asset verification is not a one-time event, but an ongoing discipline.

As Ni28 continues to develop its nickel-backed RWA infrastructure, on-site verification in Indonesia will remain a recurring component of its operational framework.

In a sector where many projects speak about assets,
Ni28 continues to examine them at the source.
